Slangkop Lighthouse is like a colossal magnet the way it keeps pulling me back to try and capture the perfect shot. I should have waited until there were dramatic clouds and a blazing autumn sky to photograph, but this iconic landscape still gives me something different every time I drive there at sunset.

With the iconic Table Mountain as a backdrop, the V & A Waterfront is a tourist magnet for Cape Town.

It’s also the perfect place to try out night photography with my new camera and I must confess I am absolutely hooked – on night photography that is. The crowds at the V&A can be a little much in high season. Which in Cape Town is pretty much all year round 🙂

Mist started rolling in as I was photographing the Clocktower and the canal, adding a lovely magical touch to the twilight.

Photographing the Cape Wheel and all the surrounding lights in the harbour proved more of a challenge than I imagined. I’ll have to go back sometime to get it absolutely right.
